Nets Trading Cam Johnson to Nuggets for Michael Porter Jr. and Draft Pick, AP Source Says
- On Monday, the Denver Nuggets traded Michael Porter Jr. along with their unprotected first-round draft selection in 2032 to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for forward Cam Johnson.
- The trade came as the Nuggets sought to reduce payroll, improve defensive versatility, and reshape their roster after firing their head coach late last season.
- Porter averaged 18.2 points and 7 rebounds last season but carried a large salary, while Johnson averaged 18.8 points and provides better defense for Denver.
- This deal reduces Denver's salary burden by about $17 million for the coming season, moving the team below the luxury tax threshold and adding roster flexibility.
- The Nuggets gain financial wiggle-room and a quality player in Johnson, which could rejuvenate them as Western Conference contenders despite losing a 2032 first-round pick.
